German DIBt institute in Berlin, a public agency for construction products, will apply these new limit values approach for requiring low VOC emissions for CE markedfloorings that are used in Germany. Now all floorings sold in Europe have to carry a CE mark in showing compliance with EN 14041. But for being installed in German buildings, these have to be approved by DIBt after fulfilling the supplementary DIBt requirements on emissions and carry the Ü mark.

This regulation is valid also for parquet floorings (EN 14342), parquet coatings, other flooring adhesives, some other products, such as resin floorings, wall coverings, sports floors, and some more. External certification is not be required for coatings and adhesives. Instead, an annual re-testing will do.
